Organic piercing jewelry is a new fad in the world today.  There are several materials that are used in making organic piercing jewelry.  These are said to be unique and one of a kind.  The different materials used are always sterilized before you get them and can be used upon receipt.  There are many various designs that are created from the many different pieces that are used.  People like to wear these as horns, labrets, or just earrings.  Most can be used in multiple places and you can order them on line or buy them in a local jewelry store that specializes in organic jewelry.

Traditional pieces of organic piercing jewelry and organic body jewelry can be found almost anywhere on the user’s body.  These pieces can be made from bamboo, horn, amber, bone, wood, and stone.  The bamboo is quite a simple piece of jewelry and doesn’t cost a lot of money.  This is important because if you are using the organic piercing jewelry to stretch the skin such as in an ear, you will need something relatively inexpensive to use for the process.  They are usually cylinder or round shaped.

Horn and bone come from water buffalo.  They also use quills from a porcupine, tusks from a boar, and the tiny ribs of a snake.  These pieces are usually engraved or burned on one end.  They have cut out designs or upside down Us.  Other designs may include spirals, omegas,  hoops, and inlay plugs.

Amber is a beautiful yellow stone that is usually polished and shined.  Some even have small insects still inside them.  You can purchase cylinders, labrets, and talons. 

Wood organic piercing jewelry can be quite pretty depending on how the use the grain of the wood and the color of the wood.  There are amazing pieces of striped ebony that ca be purchased for the right look.  Wood plus and cylinders all usually have a fancy design carved into them. 

Stone used for organic piercing jewelry gives the wearer quite a few options.  There are earplugs, saddles, talons, and labrets.  These gorgeous pieces can be made out of almost any stone such as Tiger’s Eye, Amethyst, Citrine, Jasper, Amazonite, and Petrified Wood.

Organic piercing jewelry has also become an ethnic way of jewelry use as well.  Tribes will whittle the wood down to what they need or Indians can take stones and bamboo and make a distinctive and unique piece of jewelry.  It depends on the person’s style and needs.  Something simple for a picnic or a really stunning piece for an evening on the town.  Some people like to see what their different choices are and go from there.  There is always a large choice of jewelry out there because it is so popular with the kids and the adults. 

If you do order organic piercing jewelry, make sure you know how to care for it and keep it clean.  You will want to clean the jewelry at least once or twice a week so there is no buildup of germs on the pieces.  This also wards off any infections that may be present from the new piercing.  Sometimes the areas can get infected a couple of weeks out, so take precaution and ask before you buy to make sure you know how to keep the material clean.  This is very important for your health as well.
